confederate karate? i love the authentic jap electric guitar! lol! oh and uh good place to end the video. Billy Jack would kick this short little sister fuckers ass, but it would be a tuff race race for first for worst actor! lol!
Strangely compelling clip. I never realized before how short the late Nick Adams was. And he obviously was losing his hair in the front. Rather amusing & quaint to see it pronounced "ka-ra-ta". I assume that Confederate flag on his studio wall was due to his starring role in the TV Western "The Rebel". How sad that Nick left us too soon in the late 60's due to a suspicious drug overdose...poor guy's career was REALLY in the doldrums at that point. THANKS for sharing this with us!
This is great! I'm not going to get all technical about there knowledge of where Karate came from and how they're pronouncing it...who cares!
This was back in the 60's, what did you expect? I'm just excited that jmachinder was able to get such rare footage of Mr. Adams...and in color, unlike his t.v. show "the rebel". Well done..now on to part 2. Thx again jmachinder.
Take that, plus the fact that Parker himself learned from Chow, who was nothing but a shodan (and verified mentally defective at that), yet Parker promoted himself to 9th degree about a year later.
So all of you bickering over lineage and rank and prestige need to realize that Parker himself was really only of average black belt skill. He just had a way of presenting it that made him a success.
Everything I've written can be verified by Al Tracy's website and a google search.
And there you have it folks!!! Everything can be verified on the "Tracy's" website... OMG are you kidding me? That's not verification it's science fiction... what planet are you from? Half the crap on that site is wrong and the other half made up cause they were pissed that Parker cut'em off... You really need to broaden your horizons on the research... A grain of salt man, a grain of salt.
Me personally or as a whole? You must differentiate between the two... Traditional Parker Kenpo in my humble opinion (as a whole) is ugly and antiquated in its application of linear motion... but that's just my opinion.
As a whole I guess...were the 600+ techniques in Tracy 'old' Ed Parker? (I heard Ed may or may not have drastically cut down on # of techniques). Or did Tracy add those after the split?
The 600+ tech's were added by Tracy's to try to validate what they were doing. Mr. Parker refined the scope and curriculum to minimize the amount of repeat principles or concepts being taught in the "system". And while it is true that he cut it down by count, the volume of what was being taught didn't really change...
@hat152 and you also need to get the facts straight....Parker did not cut off anyone he was resistant to taking the kenpo public in a franchise system thinking it wouldn't fly but...lol and behold it took off like a rocket. Then he wanted in however was no longer needed so in effect cutoff...He was offered the opportunity to take the organized system and do what he wanted with it but ego prevenmted him
And wouldn't relying on what Al Tracy wrote be doing the same thing? Al was just one person who was there. If you want to argue take it to the others that where there not the people such as yourself that where not.
GohModley is partly correct in that Larry Tatum really did take the art to a level that Ed Parker didn't. Not because Parker couldn't but he became too bogged down with celebrities.
A senior kenpo master told me himself that Parker would hold large promotion seminars, in which even the people in back of the class (and there were sometimes hundreds of people there) would get their black belt without even having to show one technique.
You truly are an idiot!!! Thank you for demonstrating here in public your true lack of understanding of the history of your lineage and respect for that same lineage.
The problem with Kenpoists like you is that you put lineage above skill and style. I don't. Tatum outdid his teacher. That simple. Why is that blasphemy?
REALLY! He out did Mr. Parker huh??? I want to know where you are getting the sh*t your smok'n, cause that is some good stuff!!! Listen moron, I have never put my "lineage" above skill and style, I don't need to. Why? you ask, real simple, it's rock Solid!!! You really are boring!!!
He was widely respected by his Japanese co-stars and the film crew at Toho Studios, and he loved Japan. Nick Adams was not a racist, a bigot nor a "redneck". Please learn a little bit more about what you're watching before jumping to knee-jerk assumptions.
When this was shot, Adams was a big TV star on the hit ABC series THE REBEL (1959-61), playing the character Johnny Yuma, a wandering, ex-Confederate, journal-keeping, sawed-off shotgun toting "trouble-shooter" in the old American west.
The Confederate Flag (and the publicity photos in the background) were obviously added to the dressing of the set, only to capitalize on his hit series, THE REBEL, and contains no veiled meaning.
Nick Adams was born Nicholas Aloysius Adamshock in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania to Peter Adamshock and Catherine Kutz. His father was a Ukrainian-born anthracite coal miner. Hardly a "redneck."
Their pronunciation of "Karate" may be a little stiff, but it's closer to the Japanese pronunciation than is commonly heard today -- in Japanese it is Kah-rah-teh.
"Eagle Pin" and that was not all of short3 in short3 he did 1st move Two headed Serpent then into incirleing arms then into Opening Kyle into and this is were he ended into Crash of the egeal pt2 H (sry for my mis spelling) I also am in kenpo
Actually its not encircling ams, its circling elbows into opening cowl. The eagle pin is also shortend as the full techinque has you follow with a side thrust kick to attacker one after the sweep/hammerfist to attacker two.
Ha-Ha! Nick played "The Rebel" and he's got a confederate flag there, but you can tell from that accent he was from nowhere near the South!

Thanks! That answers a lot! I'm sure you've heard of ICKA or Triangle Kenpo that has around 55 techniques.
A lot to learn, regardless
